Abstract | Schools have implemented the high-impact practice of first-year experience (FYE) courses to assist students with the transition to college. These courses help connect new students to the school with the goal of improving retention. While students in computing majors face the same challenges as other new college students, they also face some challenges specific to computing fields. Additionally, computing fields face ongoing concerns about enrollment and diversity. This work discusses the implementation of an information technology (IT) specific FYE course combining content from a university-wide FYE course with content focused on helping students gain a better understanding of the IT curriculum and IT career paths. (As Provided). |
